Bugfix: Dead player mice won't be converted to items so they can still be revived.
Bugfix: Players playing chicks won't die by developing into chickens anymore
Bugfix: Fixes an edge case where a poor soul struck by multiple polymorphing shots at once ends up in a state where they can't move.
Feature: Renames the wand of resurrection to the wand of healing to drive home the fact that it does the same things the staff of healing can do
Balancing: Gives the wand of healing more shots. 10, 5, 5, 4 up from 3, 2, 2, 1
Adds new functionality where wands will look different once they're out of charge for at a glace judgements
Adds a wand of nothing to the hacked item list for the autodrobe, by popular request
*Removes zapping oneself by attackselfing a wand, leaving clicking yourself while holding the wand the only way to do it because...
*Removes the warnings for zapping yourself with bad wands. Careful with that wand of death, kids!
*Removed some redundant lines
*Adds logging/sounds to zapping yourself
*Removed the change to wizard_continuous_rounds. It will become it's own PR
*Removed some redundant lines
*Uses the mob/living revive() proc to heal/raise people using the wand/staff of animation
*Span classes the whole update
*Spellbooks no longer vanish after being used, instead used spellbooks now have various bad effects should they be attempted to learned from again (the original reader won't acidentally fall to this, as they will just say "I've already read this"). Leave em out as traps for people or properly dispose of your trash! Or...
*The charge spell can now attempt to recharge one use spellbooks so someone else can learn the spell. This only has a 20% success rate and will destroy the book should it fail (even if the book was actually unused). You can't attempt this on the wizard's spellbook
*The "staff of nothing" (functional) placeholder now uses the generic staff sprites
*Spellbooks can now be placed in bookshelves just like normal books
*The teleport spell won't yank anchored things anymore, but as a consolation it will warp the entire contents of a tile should it be targeted. The code has been tweeked so this shouldn't effect the server too bad even if large numbers of items are warped to unique locations this way
the teleport wand now uses do_teleport
the polymorph wand now uses wabbajack in both instances
You can now click on yourself while holding a wand to cast it on yourself in addition to clicking on the wand itself.
Changed how guns/magic are given out slightly. Previously no antag could get a gun/magic thing (including survivors made by the spell in the case of multicasting) but now antags who aren't the wizard or an apprentice of the wizard also get one.
Fixed a few bugs on accidentally burning charges by click in places tht wouldn't actually fire the wand/staff
Fixes an issue where someone spamming a wand might lose charges without actually firing the bolt
Removes a few missed bugtesting lines
Adds a var (variable_charges) to be disabled for wands with assured max charges for future use

Summon Magic:
This new wizard spell works much like summon guns except it instead brings the crew magical tools and weapons. There are preexisting artifacts (minus some that would cause huge confusion/balance issues) as well as new spellbooks, wands, and a staff. The chance of survivor antag is the same as summon guns.
---
Charge:
This new spell allows for the recharging of otherwise unrefillable wands, but there's a heavy chance that the total number of charges will decrease with each casting until eventually they're impossible to keep recharging. As a bonus the charge spell can also be used to charge batteries and things that run on batteries (such as energy weapons). This carries the same max charge weardown penalties however. Lastly this spell allows a wizard to charge other wizards with a grab, reseting their spell cooldown. They cannot use it to charge themselves. It has a 60 second cooldown.
The wizard cannot buy this spell himself, it only comes randomly to the crew during Summon Magic and with the new apprentice loadout.

Wands&Staffs:
Magic weapons have been overhauled into their own catagory so there won't be any more weirdness with batteries in staves or apparent magic resistance on things that reflect energy weapons.
Wands have been added, these wands come precharged with a number of shots that can be fired off at their leasure but cannot be recharged once emptied (unless the charge spell is used). They come in a varity of exciting flavors:
*Death: Slays instantly but has very few shots (1 to 3)
*Resurrection: Revives and/or heals instantly but has very few shots (1 to 3)
*Polymorph: Same function as the staff of change
*Teleport: Weaponized blink spell that doesn't respect space tiles and can also warp away machinery or items (but not turf)
*Door Creation: Puts easy access wooden doors in walls
*Fireball: Same function (but slightly lower damage) as the fireball spell
*Nothing: Lame and useless
Wands can also be used on the user (unlike staves) by clicking on them. Warning messages have been added to a few wands so people don't accidentally zap themselves with the wand of death unless they really want to.
Wands cannot be aquired by the wizard directly, and are only spawned during castings of summon magic.
There is also a new staff, the staff of healing, which works as a recharging version of the wand of resurrection. The new apprentice starts with one of these, and they can also be found during summon magic. The wizard cannot purchase it directly, and as a stave he could not use it on himself anyways.

One time spellbooks:
Found exclusively in summon magic are one time use spellbooks that can teach any player a robeless spell. Once read the book vanishes.
Books come in the following flavors:
*fireball
*smoke
*blind
*mindswap
*forcewall
*knock
*curse of the horsemen
*charge (described above)
---
New apprentice:
A fourth loadout for apprentice wizards has been added. This wizard is intended as a support role and comes with forcewall (for cover) and charge (used to keep him and the wizard well stocked in laser weaponry or to restore the wizard's cooldowns). It also comes equiped with a free Staff of Healing for keeping the wizard alive. Shoot the medic first folks.
